George Zimmerman was back in court today for a hearing on the start date for his trial on murder charges. Zimmerman, of course, was the Hispanic neighborhood watchman in Sanford, Florida, who trailed a young black man named Trayvon Martin after calling 911, got into an altercation with Martin in which Martin ended up pounding Zimmerman’s head into the pavement, and then ended up shooting Martin in the chest. The media used the Zimmerman case as an opportunity to bully Americans over their supposed racial intolerance. Even the President of the United States weighed in in the midst of an election cycle, suggesting that if he had a son, he’d look like Trayvon Martin.

"No matter what happens, George Zimmerman will, thanks to the President and the media, remain a racist in many Americans’ minds."

In some minds Zimmerman was already a racist by virtue of his being 'other than black'. But for people who actually follow real news, Zimmerman is not racist.

IMO Zimmerman needs to sue NBC for libel. They purposely doctored the 911 tape to make him look like he was racist which is what fired up the race baiters to the point where Zimmerman and his family feared for their lives and where an unrelated Zimmerman family was harassed. All of these people should sue NBC within an inch of their existence.

Good. He should bury them. Send a message to the Obama Propaganda machine that they can't continue to do this crap.

Indeed he should. NBC has not been nearly shamed enough for this bit of crockery. A seven- or eight-figure award in the case would go a long way towards smacking their collective pee-pees properly.

When you stop and think about it. what NBC did is at least tantamount to Rather and cBS with memogate. In both cases, they were just flat-out making shit up by sprinkling a few facts on a cake that they baked out of whole ingredients that they made themselves. The country (and indeed the world) exploded with Rathergage exposed. This should be just as big. Instead, the news media and the world are more concerned about how Joran Van Der Sloot is getting on in Chilean prison than they are with exposing and dealing with the actual facts in this case.

What NBC did to Zimmerman is 100 times worse because in the Rathergate thing, no matter what, Bush wasn't going to lose. However, what NBC did to Zimmerman is affecting his life to the degree that he could have been murdered in his own right. As it stands right now what they did and the backlash from the race pimps influenced the DA to press charges instead of him getting off on the stand your ground law. If he is acquitted, he will be a marked man all thanks to NBC.
